কপালকুন্ডলা : বঙ্কিমচন্দ্র চট্টোপাধ্যায়

-

কপালকুন্ডলার (১৮৬৬) কাহিনী আঙ্গিক তদোসময়ের জন‍্য অন‍্যন‍্যপূর্ব। সমসাময়িক কোন কবির স্তবক (মধুসূধনের মেঘনাদবধ, ১৮৬১) স্বীয় সৃষ্টিতে প্রাসঙ্গিকভাবে সংযোজন একটা গ্র‍্যান্ড ব‍্যাপার।

বাঙলাদেশ শব্দটা কি বঙ্কিমবাবুই কি সাহিত‍্য প্রথম ব‍্যবহার/সৃজন করিয়াছিলেন?

মোঘল-পাঠান যুদ্ধ ও ধর্মান্তরণকরণের প্রত‍্যক্ষ‍ উল্লেখ বাংলা কথাসাহিত‍্য এই প্রথম করা হইয়াছিলো কি?

সবর্বক্ষেত্রে ত্রিভূজপ্রণয়পরকীয়া অবতরণ বঙ্কিমকল্পনাশিল্পকে ক্ষণে ক্ষণে হ্রস বলিয়া বোধ হয়। রমণীকূলের শারীরিকসৌন্দর্যের এমন অতিরঞ্জিত বর্ণনা অপ্রীতিকর হইয়া উঠিতেছে।

:: তুমি অধম, তাই বলিয়া আমি উত্তম না হইবো কেন?::
      
           :: পথিক, তুমি পথ হারাইয়াছো। ::

বাংলার এই দুটি চিরায়ত উক্তি  কপালকুন্ডলা থেকে উদ্বৃত হয় জানা হলো।

2020 is a very strange time, probably, in this passing century, people from all over the world have been in a long solitude with anxiety from the beginning. On the event of the announcement of Booker prize long list on 28 th July, at midnight in London but in the very early morning in Dhaka, readers from around the world have got startled either before going to sleep or after getting up from the dreams when they have seen “The Booker Dozen” or the list of 13 finest fictions in English from October, 2019 to September, 2020 published in the UK/Ireland. Though it has already made a buzz that US eligibility has pushed the prize from English atmosphere to American milieu, this is the most surprising and versatile long list in the Booker history that more than half (8/13) of them are first appearance in the world of long-fiction, pages started from 192 ( Redhead by the Side of the Road ) to 912 ( The Mirror & the Light ), two of them are completing their decades-long trilogy, two of...

                                                                    " This is the nature of war: By protecting others, you save yourselves.                                     If you only think of yourself, you'll only destroy yourself "   When I heard Kambei Shimada ’ s dialogue , a  ronin , the leader of samurais  starred by  Takashi Shimura ; I just press the pause button instantly to hear it repeatedly and felt a great pleasure and thought that is the essence of human artistic prestige that drive us to surrender to art both spiritually and philosophically.   If Rashomon [1950] was about technically triangular compositions then Seven Samurai [1954] is about cinematically crowd compositions. I am amazed w...

                              In the fall of 1941 no marigolds grew at the rise of World War II in the United States of America, it was kept quiet, analogously, Toni Morrison (1931-2019) wrote “The Bluest Eye”, her workshop-born debut novel, in refutation of American black beauty in the fall of 1970, it was kept quiet, from her colleagues of Random Publishing House, New York, as well. Pecola Breedlove entered into adult life and embraced motherhood prematurely at the age of 11 whereas Morrison stepped on the field of fictional world maturely at the age of 39.  In 1965, it was the time of turmoil when the whole country was in civil disobedience against racial intolerance and segregation, on the road to abolition of Jim Crow laws that separated the American nation between white and black in the name of equality, it was the time of tranquilli...
